Very early there was a highly coordinated partisan cabal hitting school boards with the emotionally over-charged message……..if it saves just one life, you need to do…….(XYZ). An unvaccinated child will let the teacher take the bug home and kill granny.
That is why truth went out the window from day one. This partisan group in election year 2020 was organized, persistent, effective and shut down literally and figuratively all opposition or debate.
There was an organized cabal messaging in the very early days of election year 2020 Covid policy-setting that claimed………if it saves just one life, it is worth doing ……..(XYZ)…….fill in the blanks…close the school down, wear masks, keep 6 feet away…put up plastic barriers…..inject everyone with experimental drugs…and silence all opposition. If you don’t vaccinate every child, an unvaccinated child will cause the teacher to bring home the bug that kills granny
Picture yourself an elected official charged with making these policy decisions faced with roving political operatives who showed up at board meetings, now being asked to take personal responsibility…….for even a single death……because you did not do…..(XYZ)……..when you had a chance. Regardless of the known absurdity of the request. What can anyone say in response to the demand………if it saves just one life………do XYZ? What would one say today now that we know what we know, when seed of lethal doubt has been cynical planted for partisan gain?
This was after all the Zombie apocalypse you know, just like in the Matt Damon movie Contagion from a few years prior. (part of the overall long range plan?)
These were very cynical people in theses early days who knew how to manipulate the narrative and ride to an election victory in 2020. Only problem they were then forced to continue their zombie apocalypse narrative until they alone could claim they “cured” covid. When from day one it was a 99% recovery flu, and all we ever needed to know about Covid was obvious from the very early Diamond Princess cruise ship experience.
This local 2020 election year partisan cabal hit the local blog Edhat hard. Many objectors like myself were immediately censored, and some of the same anonymous posters continue to control the highly partisan agenda on edhat even today. Who were they, how did they get their immediate mocking bird narrative and use it to shut down all future community debate?
Whatever the barking dog mad TDS world we were living in during those 2020 times, we can never overlook what mob hysteria does to reasoned debate. Facts did not fail. Ears failed to to hear. The verbal bullies won one more round.
Excellent. I'm so tired of these people who see Trump as someone who should have stood up against OWS and the vax. Sure and he would have been impeached and put in jail Trump does something and he's a dictator. Doesn't do something he's a sellout.
Trump’s immediate gut check again was right, he saw this as the next Democrat hoax. But even he in an election year, with so much at stake and Democrats screaming Do Something, can be understood in this election year theater event called Covid.
Same as policy makers when the issue was distorted for pure partisan gain. Biden out of the starting gate in the first debate, glowered no president who let 300,000 people die from Covid deserves re-election. Partisan lies upon lies was the real sickness America was facing, election year 2020.
I expect power and money seeking behavior from politicians and their operatives. I thought my doctor and the healthcare community in general held to higher altrustic standards. How is it that I figured out that the MRNA covid vaccine was ineffective and dangerous in June 2021 while the entire medical establishment was full steam ahead pushing the vaccine? Are most doctors idiots? I think not, but neither are they men of science or men of any detectable moral fiber. I believe doctors today are not independent thinkers but programed to follow protocol and accept concensus views irrespective of their alignment with science or data. Most doctors today still recommend the vaccine and boosters while their dangers are clear. While RFKJr has been tough on big food dye and seed oils he has so far given a pass to big pharma and the crimes committed during the covid fiasco. He clearly understands this and wrote and spoke eloquently on the subject yet now, crickets. In my optimistic mind I imagine the data are being collected and the damning emails collated for the upcoming hammer drop. I continue to wait. Soon my optimistic mind turns to the possibility that even our brightest hopes can be dashed by Washington DC. By threats or money, people change when they get the power ao affect the change we all need and want. Unfortunately the powers that control RFKJr like things just the way they are now.
Motherfuckers! Lying sacks of shit! Find them and imprison them or else they will continue to do these things. These people who think the government is there to help them will perish at their hands! My biggest fear is that they will skate by, with cover from the endless bureaucracy and sheer immense size of government. God help us. I think it’s too late. We didn’t stop the teachers unions from indoctrinating our children and let TV, movies and music influence them. Too busy to spend our precious time to raise our own kids. What the hell happened to “The greatest country in the world “. 😔
We’ve cause to fear the powerful determined to control us. They’ve proven that they can and will. My warning was published in two newspapers in January, prior to the mandated lockdown in March. What continues to trouble me: local physicians, Harvard trained to the Bahamas, who refused back then to see existing unvaccinated patients and now today mask up fearing the unvaccinated. How unethical, and ridiculous! As bad was our single regional Cottage Hospital that refused entry to unvaccinated, smart, informed doctors and nurses preventing them from accessing their dependent patients. What’s wrong with these highly educated medical professionals?
Brian- Thank you for keeping this horror story of government control in our collective conscious.
I still have random thoughts creep into my mind of how my family was forced to comply with vaccinations in order to carry on in our lives. Personal examples: My two college children were incoming freshman at the onset of the "plandemic". Each was forced to provide proof of vaccination before being allowed to move into their dorm and attend class via zoom. My wife and I were not allowed to fly to Hawaii where we have substantial investments including a farm--for over one year! Finally, we were allowed to land in Hawaii to be quarantined on our property for two weeks before moving about freely.
I pray that those responsible are criminally punished, the emotional and financial damage inflicted is unconscionable.
Already the fix is in. No one is accountable. Fauci/CDC claims they only offered guidance only, and did not command anyone to do anything. Those making decisions claimed they were only following CDC guidance.
This was election year 2020 global mass hysteria in play. That is where real investigation will be fruitful. Why was the entire planet ready to go crazy? My own theory is we were in the middle of learning the Age of Information had darkly morphed into the Age of Disinformation creating existential dislocation. A time ripe for global hysteria.
Thank you for pointing out just some the awful facts about the Covid fiasco the entire world has endured. A man made virus was then treated by a previously invented vaccine. The mRNA “vaccines” were launched on the world at “ warp speed”. (DJT has never admitted this was a big mistake, btw.) People were terrified and voluntarily accepted it, or were threatened into taking the vaccine. Nationally and locally almost 100% of the medical establishment supported and administered it. We are now learning the consequences of the loss of trust people once had in medicine and these same doctors. Some of them are STILL advising boosters.
I was one of the few doctors in SB who personally refused to take or recommend the Covid vaccine. My wife and I then successfully treated hundreds of people with repurposed drugs. None of our Covid patients died. This was treated by the state of California as spreading “misinformation.” I went early on to a medical freedom rally, and publicly stated that I would have refused a government mandated shot of saline. It was about personal autonomy. I have seen many patients who have suffered adverse Covid vaccine damage, and am aware of the death of an elderly lady 12 hours after she got the vax. Robert Malone MD came to his home town to speak, early in the pandemic, expressing skepticism about the vaccine which he had actually taken, and from which he suffered an adverse reaction. Interestingly, he is now the co chairman of the ACIP, the committee charged with recommending to HHS what vaccines should be approved and which ones should be re evaluated. What an amazing turn of events. Big Pharma is apoplectic and trying to vilify and demean him, unsurprisingly. What is scary is that the whole thing looks like a test run for using a public health crisis ( real or created) to turn the entire population into terrified people, locked behind closed doors, quivering, waiting for the TV to broadcast their next directive from the “experts”
I don’t think we have learned that we were participants in a beta version of something similar or even worse likely coming in the future.
Right on. I heard Dr. Malone speak in SB ...brilliant scientist...March 2022 I believe. He celebrated his experience attending SBCC and expressed his appreciation to Santa Barbara Foundation for his scholarship from them at that gathering. He wanted to raise money for the SB Foundation as expression of his thanks... \I believe they REFUSED because of their misguided information about COVID. Let that sink in. Refused donations that would go help others. Malone has been unequivocally correct and the SB Foundation lost me a few others going forward. Also speaking was Steve Kirsch...has a Substack....data driven....YouTube Dr. John Campbell from England...data drive. International catastrophe. So many people bought into Covid that many cannot come to terms and let go with the breadth and depth of facts that were ultimately revealed.
I believe it was the Foundation for SBCC that refused the gift, along with the Channels student campus newspaper (Josh Molina) that refused to even interview him. SBCC made him a total persona non grata. Than a few years later both came begging the community to pass a bond issue to build a new $100 million dollar SBCC gymnasium. In the interests of keeping students ……..healthy. Mind and body,
I am not a medical expert, but I generally follow my doctor’s advice. I was vaccinated, got Covid and had a runny nose for a day or so. Two of my MAGA friends elected not to get vaccinated. Both ended up in the hospital. One was out after a few days. His girlfriend almost died. To this day she has lost her sense of taste. I understand you can’t base an argument on one example. And that there were people who were not vaccinated who did not get Covid. Still, when our next pandemic arrives, some may wait to see fatality rates for different demographics. Not me. I’m going to do what my doctor recommends.
I ddm't get the vaccine. I thought about it, but nothing people said about why I had to take it made sense. People believed that only if everyone - everyone - got the vaccine would we be safe. How does that make sense? There are a couple of Santa Barbarans who were rabid on the subject. One was on the board of the symphony. I wrote him saying I wanted to make a small donation and he wrote back saying “Keep your blood money, Eva Braun.” None of these vaccinators have written to say they were wrong or duped. Only one friend has asked me recently how I knew the vaccine was nonsense and that she admired me for not taking it. It's not like my friendships that ended over the election. I'm still friends with all my vaxxed friends who wanted me to get vaxxed, except for the ones who called me a Covid killer or Eva Braun, and that's their decision, not mine. So I'm guessing they must be feeling really guilty and in denial of their feelings of guilt. At least I know I would feel guilty if I had coerced a friend or family member into taking this vaccine. But the worst must be the people who vaxxed their children. I feel so sad for these people. They were not monsters who knowingly endangered their children's health. They were just taking orders from people they thought they could trust.
What a frightening thing it is to realize how a "friend" or anyone else can turn so ugly as has happened with the COVID situation. Ignorance is one thing but when otherwise "intelligent, educated" people follow blindly it sends shivers up ones' spine to see how easily manipulated we can become.
Tell this to the people I know who died with NO other conditions. Tell this to my daughter who suffers from long covid and who was a full blown healthy 45 yr old. Tell this to my son in law who is an ER doctor in NY. The horrors they dealt with are beyond any sci-fi movie. I’m sure mistakes were made…and numbers changed as they tried to get their arms around what was happening in a very chaotic environment. I’m sure there are ways it went to far ….but this conspiracy stuff is mind-bending. And….it’s over. And you trust the nut case Kennedy??? You might want to take a look at what’s in the ‘big ugly bill’ that the Republicans in our government are supporting. THAT is mind bending for sure.
Every death is tragic. But to distort the truth is criminal. Look at the CDC stats. The government & big pharma lied to the people and used fear mongering to force an experimental drug on the masses. Instead of caring fir those that truly needed help.
I agree that every death was tragic but i don’t agree that fear mongering and vaccines caused that. COVID did. What about the fear mongering that is going on right now? What about what the government is trying to shove down our throats as an immigration policy. It’s disgraceful and sinister. I”m all for a safe border. I’m all for immigration reform. I’m all for getting rid of criminals but I am NOT for the base cruelty I see and read about every day. I’m NOT for masked men in unmarked cars pulling people off the streets and sending them to Venezuela or Sudan. In what humane person is this acceptable. We will ALL suffer from this cruelty.
NY doctors dealt with the horrors of misuse of ventilators in the early days of the Covid hysteria. Faulty use of oxygen saturation numbers as a Covid surrogate. You fail to make your case for Covid, Elaine. But you are a good example of the bony finger of guilt hysteria pointed at those who did make one erroneous policy decision after another. Thank you for the reminder.
Cuomo spent $457 million on ventilators he never used. Trump provided ventilators bec Cuomo, after killing the elderly, wined he needed them. Then he never used them. Criminals.
The statistics and payment records speak volumes. Also why were foot doctors & dermatologists pushing the drugs? It is not their area of expertise. Why was the experimental drug pushed on people by doctors who never knew patient history?
I can’t speak to any of this. I’m loath to believe almost anything I hear these days. Fake news is the norm. I try to fact check almost everything I read or see or hear. It’s a chore but it’s keeping me somewhat sane…although there are those on this thread who would beg to differ about my sanity! :-)
Elaine, we certainly are on the same page about fake news but the difference is that most likely where you get your "facts" from and where I would get mine from are entirely different sources. You cite all the deaths from Covid but seem oblivious to the facts (because you think they are fake) of all the medical issues these shots have caused and continue to cause. I doubt very much if we ever have a meeting of the minds on this subject but one thing for sure is that people should have the choice and not be forced or coerced to take this vaccine.
I actually agree. I think in the midst of the chaos that covid really did cause, the argument was that it was the only way to protect people…and stem the spread. That was then. There is lots to criticize for sure. Personally, I’m more concerned with what the government is doing now. And please know…that if the Democrats were doing half of it….I’d be just as disgusted and critical. I’ve said this before…I don’t think the ends justify the means. It’s the means that I find horrifying. It’s HOW we address the obvious issues this country has.
California doctors earned no “privilege” to talk about Covid since they were early and thorough sell outs. I see no reason to give NY doctor the benefit of the doubt. The burden is now on them. Not us. The entire profession as a whole lost ground over Covid.
Facts about misused ventilators were a the table fairly early, as the deaths from their misuse and discontinuation was a known and very troubling incidence. Verbal bullying and personal anecdote will never trump accumulated facts on the ground. Btw menopause, like andropause is a biological event, not measured only by cessation of monthly periods which can be caused by many other conditions. You would do well to explore this topic far more than taking only an immediate defensive posture and blaming “Covid”, which is a dead end. Wellness is the goal. Why stop short?
Modern medicine has a love affair with drugs. At age 45 she was not past menopause. You do her a disservice not discussing this with her. It is a period of time for ages 35 to 55, not a single event. It is a transition time, not unlike puberty. Take a look at Dr Susan Love’s book written before menopause got commercially hijacked for some useful insights.
She went through it early. There is such a thing as early menopause. Do you think I’m that dumb? I’m a woman. Generalizations are okay but everyone’s body is different. I do agree totally with you, however, that modern medicine has a love affair with drugs. This is an area where my cynicism serves me well. I’m super careful about taking anything just because it’s prescribed. Always have been.
I do have to add here that Covid is not/was not as dangerous as Sepsis. It really galls me all this talk about Covid when most people are unaware of the symptoms of Sepsis. Sepsis is one of the top killers. You are far more likely to die of Sepsis, should you get it, than Covid. In January of this year I got both Septic Shock and Flesh Eating Bacteria. I didn't know I had either, I thought I had Norovirus, until I looked down at my groin while changing clothes and it was suddenly black and red. I don't remember anything past that until I woke up in Cottage ICU. My husband told me I'd fainted, he got me to Goleta Valley ER. They took one look at my groin and got me to downtown Cottage where, just before I was put into a coma, I'm told I said to my husband “If I don't make it, please remember me fondly.” I was operated on several times and my poor husband just held my hand while I was out, telling me I could make it. But the odds weren't good. 50/50 at best. But I did survive and intact. One thing this did was give me renewed admiration for the frontline medical people. Another was real anger that Covid, which was not nearly as deadly and only here for a brief time, was given such fanfare. Millions of people die from Sepsis. Don't let it be you or someone you care about. Demand Sepsis awareness so you and your loved ones won't wait too long for treatment. Had my husband not been so smart and taken action I would not be here today writing this.
It didn’t help that the lies were coming from the Commander in Chief in 2020, did it? But, I don’t think people on this stack are receptive to the truth because they wouldn’t be supporting EXACTLY THE SAME POWER STRUCTURE!
Thank you Brian Cambell for such a indepth article for publishing the truth. I had pulled up the Grand Jury report that was published online November 12, 2021 Social-Emotional Health during Covid 19. Every school district and all schools failed were listed in this report including the breakdown of how 173 million in covid19 relief money was received for the schools and which districts received funds. Santa Maria Bonita School district received the most with over 65 million, Lompoc Unified receiving over 36 Million, Santa Barbara Unified receiving 35 million,
Where did all the money go? Looking at this financial statement ill have to find my earlier published copy. This report could have been updated. This flagrant fiscal Malfeasance needs to be addressed for fiscal accountability. My daughter who became pregant in 2020 with my grand daughter Adeline in december 2020 and she was stillborn at 27 weeks later. My daughter of course struggled with comorbidities overweight being the most common among most Americans from the toxins in food, synthectic medications, envirnmental toxins. It is all part of killing off 80 billion people part of the WEF, WHO, UN plans for One World Order and Agenda 21. It is all part of the political theater with all 5 members of the board of supervisors i just rewatched our june 25, meeting to where all open comment had 25 speakers to include members of Election Intregrity, and New California State Santa Barbara County the Board behaved with no interest to investigate election fraud. Their words just reinforced that they are all compliciant to the crimes against the people. Very significant speakers we had who stood up for truth and transparency. We are the Lords Warriors and this war will end with Our God as the winner. There is no Doubt We are One Nation Under God. NCSdoge.com will be notified of your publication. https://www.youtube.com/live/7XuM4qMk7eY?si=M9ORjeoT1n40CWoB
Brian-Thank you for your excellent article on the politics of COVID. Fauci made millions off the aids epidemic as well. It's so nice to see that some people research and tell the truth.
I can't believe California is a state of sheepeople. The worst is yet to come!
The individuals responsible for these corruptions and crimes must be readily identifiable. So, why are they not being arrested and charged?
Surely, if this was a series of criminal conspiracies to commit fraud and thereby harm children, they would be indictable under the laws governing fraud and child abuse.
Exactly. Especially with Trump, Kennedy, et. al at the helm. Which all makes me wonder if what is suggested in this opinion piece, some big coverup, scam, power grab, is all just BS.
Great Article Brian. Good to see that pandemic morass is further coming to light. I was fortunate enough to see that it was a planned hoax from the beginning and didn’t take the shots (I quit taking shots long ago). But hard for me to come to grips with my children receiving the shots. I beg them not to take it, to no avail, as they were needed for my young ones just getting their careers and needing to travel for their livelihood.
He was plain to see that it was all a plan, dr Fauci and his elk stating that a new virus and a pandemic most likely during the Trump term. Joe Biden tweeting about it. Event 201 table top exercise to plan for it.
Dates are important.
JANUARY 15, 2020.
>Historic trade deal w/ China signed
>>China loses billions in clawback
>[Held][Timed] impeachment articles are delivered to Senate
>FIRST case of COVID-19 lands in UNITED STATES [Seattle-Tacoma International Airport]
Do the Chinese like losing?
Do the Chinese want POTUS removed/replaced P_elec_2020?
Do the Chinese want BIDEN installed P_elec_2020?
Is this about the virus OR THE ELECTION?
Evil surrounds us.
Think of the hundreds of billions of dollars (trillions?) that were transferred from everyday citizens to the elites as a result of the pandemic. The cost of PPP, testing, masks, $9000 to hospitals for each positive test, $39,000 if a patient was put on a ventilator, etc. etc. etc.
All a scam…
I wrote letters in Spring 2021 to the board supervisors, mayors of all the cities within the county, the county health executive, and the doctor in charge of the Vax rollout at the county level — alerting them to the poison in the clot shots…to no avail, no response. So sad.
Evil surrounds US. Stay in the fight, we are nearing the climax of this sordid tale.
Very early there was a highly coordinated partisan cabal hitting school boards with the emotionally over-charged message……..if it saves just one life, you need to do…….(XYZ). An unvaccinated child will let the teacher take the bug home and kill granny.

PS…my apologies for the poor editing of my above comments, but my little device half a world away where I am right now is not letting me edit.
Excellent. I'm so tired of these people who see Trump as someone who should have stood up against OWS and the vax. Sure and he would have been impeached and put in jail Trump does something and he's a dictator. Doesn't do something he's a sellout.
Trump’s immediate gut check again was right, he saw this as the next Democrat hoax. But even he in an election year, with so much at stake and Democrats screaming Do Something, can be understood in this election year theater event called Covid.
Same as policy makers when the issue was distorted for pure partisan gain. Biden out of the starting gate in the first debate, glowered no president who let 300,000 people die from Covid deserves re-election. Partisan lies upon lies was the real sickness America was facing, election year 2020.

I wrote him saying I wanted to make a small donation and he wrote back saying “Keep your blood money, Eva Braun.” None of these vaccinators have written to say they were wrong or duped. Only one friend has asked me recently how I knew the vaccine was nonsense and that she admired me for not taking it. It's not like my friendships that ended over the election. I'm still friends with all my vaxxed friends who wanted me to get vaxxed, except for the ones who called me a Covid killer or Eva Braun, and that's their decision, not mine. So I'm guessing they must be feeling really guilty and in denial of their feelings of guilt. At least I know I would feel guilty if I had coerced a friend or family member into taking this vaccine. But the worst must be the people who vaxxed their children. I feel so sad for these people. They were not monsters who knowingly endangered their children's health. They were just taking orders from people they thought they could trust.
What a frightening thing it is to realize how a "friend" or anyone else can turn so ugly as has happened with the COVID situation. Ignorance is one thing but when otherwise "intelligent, educated" people follow blindly it sends shivers up ones' spine to see how easily manipulated we can become.
Tell this to the people I know who died with NO other conditions. Tell this to my daughter who suffers from long covid and who was a full blown healthy 45 yr old. Tell this to my son in law who is an ER doctor in NY. The horrors they dealt with are beyond any sci-fi movie. I’m sure mistakes were made…and numbers changed as they tried to get their arms around what was happening in a very chaotic environment. I’m sure there are ways it went to far ….but this conspiracy stuff is mind-bending. And….it’s over. And you trust the nut case Kennedy??? You might want to take a look at what’s in the ‘big ugly bill’ that the Republicans in our government are supporting. THAT is mind bending for sure.
Every death is tragic. But to distort the truth is criminal. Look at the CDC stats. The government & big pharma lied to the people and used fear mongering to force an experimental drug on the masses. Instead of caring fir those that truly needed help.
I agree that every death was tragic but i don’t agree that fear mongering and vaccines caused that. COVID did. What about the fear mongering that is going on right now? What about what the government is trying to shove down our throats as an immigration policy. It’s disgraceful and sinister. I”m all for a safe border. I’m all for immigration reform. I’m all for getting rid of criminals but I am NOT for the base cruelty I see and read about every day. I’m NOT for masked men in unmarked cars pulling people off the streets and sending them to Venezuela or Sudan. In what humane person is this acceptable. We will ALL suffer from this cruelty.
Immigration.
Caesar Chavez, Clinton & Obsma all opposed illegals.
Clinton created the fast track deportation & he deported 12 million illegals. Obama 5 million.
Illegals are breaking the law which has 6 months jail time fir first offense. Its a criminal offense not civil. Despite the lies being told.
Biden spouting off about killing grandma & winter if death.
No fear mongering there.
Did you notice the covid stats on every news channel? First time that has ever occurred!
Did you notice in 2021 they cured the common flu? Zero influenza deaths or hospitalizations.
Amazing!
This is just false. Or as you would say a lie. "Did you notice in 2021 they cured the common flu? Zero influenza deaths or hospitalizations."

NY doctors dealt with the horrors of misuse of ventilators in the early days of the Covid hysteria. Faulty use of oxygen saturation numbers as a Covid surrogate. You fail to make your case for Covid, Elaine. But you are a good example of the bony finger of guilt hysteria pointed at those who did make one erroneous policy decision after another. Thank you for the reminder.
Cuomo spent $457 million on ventilators he never used. Trump provided ventilators bec Cuomo, after killing the elderly, wined he needed them. Then he never used them. Criminals.
You’re welcome. Hold on to your cynicism. And…I don’t think you (or I) are in a position to factually comment on what NY doctors dealt with or why.
My son in law has that privilege.
The statistics and payment records speak volumes. Also why were foot doctors & dermatologists pushing the drugs? It is not their area of expertise. Why was the experimental drug pushed on people by doctors who never knew patient history?
I can’t speak to any of this. I’m loath to believe almost anything I hear these days. Fake news is the norm. I try to fact check almost everything I read or see or hear. It’s a chore but it’s keeping me somewhat sane…although there are those on this thread who would beg to differ about my sanity! :-)
Elaine, we certainly are on the same page about fake news but the difference is that most likely where you get your "facts" from and where I would get mine from are entirely different sources. You cite all the deaths from Covid but seem oblivious to the facts (because you think they are fake) of all the medical issues these shots have caused and continue to cause. I doubt very much if we ever have a meeting of the minds on this subject but one thing for sure is that people should have the choice and not be forced or coerced to take this vaccine.
I actually agree. I think in the midst of the chaos that covid really did cause, the argument was that it was the only way to protect people…and stem the spread. That was then. There is lots to criticize for sure. Personally, I’m more concerned with what the government is doing now. And please know…that if the Democrats were doing half of it….I’d be just as disgusted and critical. I’ve said this before…I don’t think the ends justify the means. It’s the means that I find horrifying. It’s HOW we address the obvious issues this country has.
California doctors earned no “privilege” to talk about Covid since they were early and thorough sell outs. I see no reason to give NY doctor the benefit of the doubt. The burden is now on them. Not us. The entire profession as a whole lost ground over Covid.
Facts about misused ventilators were a the table fairly early, as the deaths from their misuse and discontinuation was a known and very troubling incidence. Verbal bullying and personal anecdote will never trump accumulated facts on the ground. Btw menopause, like andropause is a biological event, not measured only by cessation of monthly periods which can be caused by many other conditions. You would do well to explore this topic far more than taking only an immediate defensive posture and blaming “Covid”, which is a dead end. Wellness is the goal. Why stop short?
One cannot overlook menopause in a 45 year old daughter. Same cluster of symptoms and complaints.
Sorry…I believe in modern medicine. She was past that. It was COVID.
Modern medicine has a love affair with drugs. At age 45 she was not past menopause. You do her a disservice not discussing this with her. It is a period of time for ages 35 to 55, not a single event. It is a transition time, not unlike puberty. Take a look at Dr Susan Love’s book written before menopause got commercially hijacked for some useful insights.
She went through it early. There is such a thing as early menopause. Do you think I’m that dumb? I’m a woman. Generalizations are okay but everyone’s body is different. I do agree totally with you, however, that modern medicine has a love affair with drugs. This is an area where my cynicism serves me well. I’m super careful about taking anything just because it’s prescribed. Always have been.
To your question, yes.
Lovely. What a mature response.
Exactly, Brian! Good to keep this documented events alive and well so WE DO NOT FORGET!
I do have to add here that Covid is not/was not as dangerous as Sepsis. It really galls me all this talk about Covid when most people are unaware of the symptoms of Sepsis. Sepsis is one of the top killers. You are far more likely to die of Sepsis, should you get it, than Covid. In January of this year I got both Septic Shock and Flesh Eating Bacteria. I didn't know I had either, I thought I had Norovirus, until I looked down at my groin while changing clothes and it was suddenly black and red. I don't remember anything past that until I woke up in Cottage ICU. My husband told me I'd fainted, he got me to Goleta Valley ER. They took one look at my groin and got me to downtown Cottage where, just before I was put into a coma, I'm told I said to my husband “If I don't make it, please remember me fondly.” I was operated on several times and my poor husband just held my hand while I was out, telling me I could make it. But the odds weren't good. 50/50 at best. But I did survive and intact. One thing this did was give me renewed admiration for the frontline medical people. Another was real anger that Covid, which was not nearly as deadly and only here for a brief time, was given such fanfare. Millions of people die from Sepsis. Don't let it be you or someone you care about. Demand Sepsis awareness so you and your loved ones won't wait too long for treatment. Had my husband not been so smart and taken action I would not be here today writing this.
It didn’t help that the lies were coming from the Commander in Chief in 2020, did it? But, I don’t think people on this stack are receptive to the truth because they wouldn’t be supporting EXACTLY THE SAME POWER STRUCTURE!
Thank you Brian Cambell for such a indepth article for publishing the truth. I had pulled up the Grand Jury report that was published online November 12, 2021 Social-Emotional Health during Covid 19. Every school district and all schools failed were listed in this report including the breakdown of how 173 million in covid19 relief money was received for the schools and which districts received funds. Santa Maria Bonita School district received the most with over 65 million, Lompoc Unified receiving over 36 Million, Santa Barbara Unified receiving 35 million,

Where did all the money go? Looking at this financial statement ill have to find my earlier published copy. This report could have been updated. This flagrant fiscal Malfeasance needs to be addressed for fiscal accountability. My daughter who became pregant in 2020 with my grand daughter Adeline in december 2020 and she was stillborn at 27 weeks later. My daughter of course struggled with comorbidities overweight being the most common among most Americans from the toxins in food, synthectic medications, envirnmental toxins. It is all part of killing off 80 billion people part of the WEF, WHO, UN plans for One World Order and Agenda 21. It is all part of the political theater with all 5 members of the board of supervisors i just rewatched our june 25, meeting to where all open comment had 25 speakers to include members of Election Intregrity, and New California State Santa Barbara County the Board behaved with no interest to investigate election fraud. Their words just reinforced that they are all compliciant to the crimes against the people. Very significant speakers we had who stood up for truth and transparency. We are the Lords Warriors and this war will end with Our God as the winner. There is no Doubt We are One Nation Under God.

Brian-Thank you for your excellent article on the politics of COVID. Fauci made millions off the aids epidemic as well. It's so nice to see that some people research and tell the truth.
I can't believe California is a state of sheepeople. The worst is yet to come!

The individuals responsible for these corruptions and crimes must be readily identifiable. So, why are they not being arrested and charged?
Surely, if this was a series of criminal conspiracies to commit fraud and thereby harm children, they would be indictable under the laws governing fraud and child abuse.
Exactly. Especially with Trump, Kennedy, et. al at the helm. Which all makes me wonder if what is suggested in this opinion piece, some big coverup, scam, power grab, is all just BS.
Excellent and accurate analysis. Don’t get me started on the damage the gene therapy shots are doing and we do not even know the long term damage yet.
Great Article Brian. Good to see that pandemic morass is further coming to light. I was fortunate enough to see that it was a planned hoax from the beginning and didn’t take the shots (I quit taking shots long ago). But hard for me to come to grips with my children receiving the shots. I beg them not to take it, to no avail, as they were needed for my young ones just getting their careers and needing to travel for their livelihood.
He was plain to see that it was all a plan, dr Fauci and his elk stating that a new virus and a pandemic most likely during the Trump term. Joe Biden tweeting about it. Event 201 table top exercise to plan for it.
Dates are important.
JANUARY 15, 2020.
>Historic trade deal w/ China signed
>>China loses billions in clawback
>[Held][Timed] impeachment articles are delivered to Senate
>FIRST case of COVID-19 lands in UNITED STATES [Seattle-Tacoma International Airport]
Do the Chinese like losing?
Do the Chinese want POTUS removed/replaced P_elec_2020?
Do the Chinese want BIDEN installed P_elec_2020?
Is this about the virus OR THE ELECTION?
Evil surrounds us.
Think of the hundreds of billions of dollars (trillions?) that were transferred from everyday citizens to the elites as a result of the pandemic. The cost of PPP, testing, masks, $9000 to hospitals for each positive test, $39,000 if a patient was put on a ventilator, etc. etc. etc.
All a scam…
I wrote letters in Spring 2021 to the board supervisors, mayors of all the cities within the county, the county health executive, and the doctor in charge of the Vax rollout at the county level — alerting them to the poison in the clot shots…to no avail, no response. So sad.
Evil surrounds US. Stay in the fight, we are nearing the climax of this sordid tale.
